  • Fuel pump going out?

    At random times at idle I can hear my fuel pump, and I mean loud! Car seems to be running fine. But I don't want to find out the hard way when it is'nt. The very first time I heard it, the SRS came on, and stayed on. Pulled the battery cable and SRS stayed off for sometime, now it randomly comes on. I will goto Autozone today and check the codes. But do you guys think the Fuel Pump maybe going out?

    when my pump was on its way it, the car wouldn't start when it was warmed up, then let it sit 30 minutes and it would start again.

      The pump in my 99' has been noisy like that (but not random...all the time!)since the day I got it. That was 2 yrs and 34,000 miles ago. Car now has 114,000 miles total on it. No fuel related problems at all.
      Now Playing: \'99 Pewter Firebird, stock, bone stock, and nothing but stock, so help me God!<br />Comming attractions: K&N Filter, Lid Mod, Intake Bellows Smooth Pipe Mod.<br />I dream about: Forced Induction (TC or SC) or NOX (or both!)

        mine has been randomly loud since, 32k, and 4 years ago... when I got the car...

        have 76k now. If you are worried check the fuel pressure.

          Thanks for the posts guys! It sounds like I shouldnt worry.

          Went to Autozone, and got these codes.

          P0404 Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Open Position Performance
          and P1404 Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Closed Position Performance
          Thier scanner said other wierd things, not exactly this, but thats the codes and a copy and paste from a sticky...

          Does this mean I need to shell out $130+ and get a new EGR? Or could low fuel pressure cause it to act funny? BTW: "THE BOAT" I don't know how to check the pressure. Also the car does seem to be missing, but not like a dead plug. I can barely feel it, its almost feels like hitting little imperfections on the highway.

          Feels like Im writing a book and only my second post, go me!:tup:

            sounds like your egr is shot or needs a good cleaning. If it is dirty or bad it will cause your car to feel like there is a slight miss because it is not opening and closing properly

            My friend had a blazer that had a bad egr, thing would shake pretty good at idle and such. Replaced EGR and it was all good again

              Sounds like this is it then. Does't do it at idle just barely at highway speeds, and at random. Never knew they could be cleaned. Since mine doesn't have very bad hesitation, do you think it could be fixed by a cleaning? Also are thier any forums on here about how to do that, or could you throw me any tips? Thanks ~Steve
